Where is the Help … or should I say Pleh?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

University life is wonderful but as you might have been able to tell from my last blog, I\u2019m a busy bee! Due to this, everyday things can even feel like a stress or struggle, like finding time to food shop, do the washing, clean your bathroom and even just eating lunch! So how can you balance everyday chores and essentials with lectures\/seminars, extracurricular activities and a social life? Well there\u2019s no perfect method to the madness but you can try and learn from my mistakes. They\u2019ve successfully helped me formulate the following sequence which conveniently spells out: STAY CALM. How perfect?<\/p>\n

S<\/strong><\/span> is for sleep. Make sure you get plenty! It\u2019s so ridiculously unknown how perfect and wonderful sleep is. Sleep solves so many things from stress and spot break outs, and helps mental calmness and concentration. Yes, going to seminars is very important but there\u2019s no point going if you\u2019re going to sit there like a zombie not taking anything in – make sure you’re well rested for them! Its not always possible to get as much sleep as you need so make sure you catch up on nights when you\u2019re not raving to S Club in Club Salvation until 3am.<\/p>\n

\"2016-08-28<\/a>
Try to sleep as well as possible … although you don’t need as much sleep as my cat Oliver seems to need …<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

T<\/strong><\/span> conveniently stands for time management. Ask anyone who knows me and they\u2019ll be able to tell you how much of a planner I am. I don\u2019t think I could survive waking up each day and not knowing what\u2019s in store. Also keeping a diary or calendar or even just a long list of things you need\/want to do in a certain time period makes everything feel a bit more manageable, especially if you haven\u2019t had enough sleep (!) and all these thoughts are just racing around your head! Definitely invest in a good calendar app or diary from WHSmith.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong><\/span> is for appetite (sadly STFY CALM doesn\u2019t sound as catchy so appetite it is!). This is particularly important and goes hand in hand with sleep. It\u2019s so important that number one, you find the time to eat and number two, you eat the right stuff. Downing a bottle of Coke before your 9am lecture will do you little good when you\u2019re half way through that 6-hour day. Carry a bottle of water around with you everywhere and perhaps an apple or cereal bar. You don\u2019t have to go all out and make a spectacular chicken Caesar salad everyday but just a few healthy bits here and there will give you enough energy and stamina to keep going!<\/p>\n

\"2017-01-14<\/a>
“You time” for me is spent with good friends and lovely food!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Y<\/strong><\/span> is for yoga \u2026 just kidding: it\u2019s for You. Make sure you have some \u201cyou time\u201d and actually if that involves yoga that\u2019s great! I spoke about this a bit in my last blog but everyone needs a bit of time to just sit down and binge watch Netflix with endless cups of tea and a huge box of chocolates. I know I\u2019ve just said healthy eating is important but no one should cut chocolate out completely, that\u2019s just cruel!<\/p>\n

C<\/strong><\/span> stands for commitment which leads me to ask a follow up question. Can\/should you really make that commitment? Yes, you should make the most of your student life while you can, but don\u2019t overdo it. If you’re studying Medicine,\u00a0for example, but can’t decide between the Drama and Dance societies, you can always just pick one. With both you\u2019ll get double the stress and even less time to do your yoga during \u201cyou time\u201d – you’ll enjoy doing one so much more! Try to think about all the commitments you\u2019re planning on making before you actually commit.<\/p>\n

The second A<\/strong><\/span> is for accept help. If it\u2019s all got too much and you don\u2019t know where to look for advice, there are so many places at the University of York that are here to help. The Student Union are\u00a0happy to talk with you and help you work on time management or discuss your struggles with deadlines or physical\/mental health. Then there\u2019s also the supervisors for each course who are some of the most understanding and caring people you\u2019ll ever meet. Just drop them an email and they\u2019ll be so happy to chat about things. Those are just two examples, there are so many more!<\/p>\n

L<\/strong><\/span> is adorably for love and the importance to love what you\u2019re doing. This links in well with commitment; if you\u2019ve started going to the gym or learning Spanish or you\u2019ve got a part in a pantomime but you\u2019re not enjoying it, stop! What is the point in voluntarily spending time and energy on something you\u2019re not loving? You always need to put yourself first and only do what you love at university.<\/p>\n

And last, but not least, M<\/strong><\/span> is for make memories. Like I said, you\u2019ll look back on these years and crave for them to come around again, but they won\u2019t and even if they did they wouldn\u2019t be the same. Get out there, make friends, learn things you didn\u2019t even know were possible to learn and most importantly STAY CALM doing it!<\/p>\n
